श्यावदन्तान्वृथादन्तान्वेदविक्रयकारकान् । वेदविप्लवकान्वापि वेदशास्त्रविवर्जितान्
śyāvadantānvṛthādantānvedavikrayakārakān | vedaviplavakānvāpi vedaśāstravivarjitān
(Tolaklah) mereka yang giginya menghitam, yang giginya berpenyakit atau tak berguna; mereka yang memperjualbelikan Weda hingga pengetahuan suci jadi dagang; mereka yang merusak kewibawaan Weda; serta mereka yang kosong dari tata-aturan Weda dan śāstra.
Bhartṛyajña (contextual continuation)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A householder at a tīrtha prepares śrāddha offerings; a learned, calm brāhmaṇa is welcomed while figures symbolizing Veda-vikraya and Veda-viplava are respectfully turned away; ritual vessels, darbha, and piṇḍa-plates are arranged near water.
Sacred rites demand reverence for the Veda; those who commercialize or subvert scriptural truth are unfit for ritual honor.
No specific tīrtha is referenced; the focus is on safeguarding the integrity of Śrāddha through proper eligibility.
Exclude from Śrāddha those who sell or undermine Vedic knowledge and those lacking Vedic-śāstric discipline.
